I adopted a timid kitty from the humane society 5 years ago and she’s the best thing ever in my life. And the timidness goes away, eventually. I agree with the other commenters saying just let her come to you. Lola spent the first few months of our relationship hiding under the bed. Now she’s in my face constantly &…

A girl from my high school was a DG at Miami and I can confirm that this is exactly what her life looked like, according to her Facebook profile. Although there were a lot more exotic vacations & designer handbags & Herve Leger cocktail dresses in Vegas.

I never saw a bill for the two on my labia that my gyno removed in about 2 minutes... Could have been my insurance was excellent but it’s a super quick “procedure”.

I had a couple small ones on my labia & my gyn removed them in like 2 seconds. Another time I did it myself with nail clippers and thought I made a huge mistake because BLOOD, but then it stopped & all was well. It’ll be super easy, I promise!

I second the couch to 5k program. It's got me running almost three miles straight these days but it starts out nice & easy with a run/walk routine.

I’m a normal who hates the gym & I’ve lost 35 lbs since July with WW, if that helps. I couldn’t be further from Oprah.

Perhaps because they all surreptitiously own nose hair trimmers already.

This show is going to be terrible but I still got chills because of that god damned song. THANKS MIRANDA LAMBERT.

VOMIT. I recently moved across the country so my social circle has shrunk dramatically & therefore I don’t have many chances to experience this but I fully plan on saying “fuck being polite” & launching at the next man who mansplains to me.

UGHHHHHH IS 2015 OVER YET *fart noise*

That’s suuuuper gross. One of my childhood best friends has totally embraced wife status & future motherhood, which has been really challenging for me to relate to, but at least I knew this about her when we were kids. Even though I couldn’t comprehend what it would mean for us as we got older, I know her wifely…

I cringe a bit every time one of my awesome, independent, educated, etc. friends gets married & is so excited to change her last name to her husband’s. I mean, I’m happy for her that she is happy, and I will of course support her choices, but I silently protest by keeping her maiden name in my address book & just…

I do love me some Eddie Redmayne...

Yep. Did the same thing visiting my boyfriend at the naval academy years ago. Shared a hotel room with his parents & they even paid for everything. I'm an asshole.

One of the most vivid dreams of my entire life was my wedding day. The lucky groom? Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. I’m still unsure of the circumstances around our nuptials because in my dream I was very nervous & he had to reassure me that we did, indeed, have wedding bands & an officiant & our families were…

I swear by Nordstrom, even though their prices are ridiculous... the bra I got there recently was like $68, and then I found the exact same style in a different color on Amazon for $19. So I basically have two bras for $44 each. But you could always just return the expensive one!

Another point to consider is the non-financial support people get from parents. I rely on my parents constantly for advice as I navigate my twenties & early professional career. How should I invest my 401k? Am I saving enough? How do I ask for a raise? How do I sell my car? Should I look for a new job? My air…

Lol probably not. I lived in the south briefly so only had to deal with this for a couple years. I had one friend who was as “liberal” as he could manage to be given his upbringing, & his girlfriend asked me some genuine questions once about why I was a liberal, & I gave her the most honest answers I could. She will…

It's important to think about, not just in regards to our own personal life but in helping us understand & empathize with others. The more self aware people are (without overdoing it into navel gazing territory) the better equipped we are to be compassionate people.
